The New Balance 1000 ‘Mallard Green Sea Salt’ is built with a combination of ripstop, leather and suede. The upper features neutral grey and off-white tones on the top half, while the lower half appears to have been dipped in green dye. The color-matched polyurethane midsole packs ABZORB foam in the forefoot and heel for lightweight cushioning and a smooth ride. Underfoot, the black rubber is fitted with a Stability Web for added arch support.
The reissued 1000 brings a turn of the millennium classic out of the archives. Originally released in 1999, the 1000 embodied the era’s bold, futuristic styling with a streamlined, yet intricately detailed design. The standard mesh upper and leather overlay design is inverted, with mesh underlays, emerging from the more prominent overlay panels, for a refined, tech-inspired look. A segmented sole unit features ABZORB cushioning at the heel and forefoot, with a Stability Web midfoot shank.
